OWASP Local Chapter meetings are free and open. Our chapter's meetings are informal and encourage open discussion of all aspects of application security. Anyone in our area interested in web application security is welcome to attend. If you plan to attend a chapter meeting, please subscribe to the OWASP Suncoast Mailing List to get reminders and notification of any changes.

We encourage attendees to give short presentations about specific topics. If you would like to make a presentation, or have any questions about the Suncoast Chapter, send an email to one of the chapter leaders.

Successful Meeting Held at Gevity

There was a good turn out for last night's Suncoast OWASP Meeting, held at Gevity on Sept 9th. Thanks to all who attended and special thanks to John Hale and Gevity for sponsoring the event and providing the terrific briefing room.

We are looking for support including speakers and sponsors. We are also still trying to identify a larger conference room in the area to host future events. Please contact Mike Nixon or Stephen Carter if you are able to help in any way. Speakers from commercial companies are welcome although it is against Chapter rules to promote commercial products.
